The Traveling Men’s Christian Union met Iast evening at Lower Farwell Hall for devotional exercises. The attendance was small. but there was no want of intercst on the part of those present. The exercises were conducted by A. Q. Abbutt. A devotional and busivess lncctil:% will be held Saturday evening, and will be le by W. H. Hazzurd.

Why is it that when you, out of charity, aska man whom you never suw before to take a drink De invariably makes auswer: “Well, I don't nsually; etill, sceing it's you »? Which Teminds one that a safe way to héad off a person of this kind is to iaterrupt him briskly ss soon ashe seys “usually,” and remark that you ‘honor a man’s convictions and wouldn't for the world have him depart from Lis practice on your account. Mr. E. 5. Washburn, General Manager of the Hoosac Tunnel, was in the ¢ty yesterday. He States that the Eastern roads are still_sutfering to some extent from the snow-blockade, but they are gradually getting over it, and unless there Is another heavy snow-storm nll the lines will be in good runuing order in less than a woek. There is an immense amount of freight still standing on the tracks waiting for ship- ment. . _ Tee hall of the Philosophical Soziety was flll- ed with a cultured audience last evening to lis- ten toan interesting lectare by Prof. C. D. B. Mills, of Syracuse, N. Y., on “The Condition. nd Destiny of Humanity.” The chief proposi- tinn which the lectarer sct forth was that man’s ature zud tives might be interpreted as a prophecy of what heis to be. At the con- cluston of the ecture there was the usual gen- erul d scussion. Onpe of the most. enjoyable school_ entertain- ments ever given in this city came off in Allen’s Academy ¥riday, the-last day of the first half- sesvion. 1t cousisted Of readings, decla- solos, and choruses by the school. Tke ununimous verdict of the Jarge audience ap- pears to be that it was a complete success from beginning to end. The large school-hall was Leautifully decorated with cverareens, flowers, and plauts, 2nd many other evidences of aes- zhctfi taste and skill. The higher culture of boys and young men is pot peglected in this school. The annuat election_of the St. Columbkill Total Austinence and Benevolent Society was held in their hall, Jan. 14, asfollows: President, Patrick Finnizen: First Vice-President, Jobn D.

The epple- ‘wornan at the Commerdal Exchange reports her receipts incressed by fully 7 cents a day. and a prominent citizen residing up on Choutean ave- nue told a boy who wanted to sell him some soap, matches, suspenders, and jeast-cakes to Jook in agin in a weck ortwo, The editors are overjoyed, and their fair, jarge ears no Jonger Ji¢ limp upon their shoulders, but stand up erect and trim as fence-pickets. A young boy on ‘West Harrison strect who reads mefl&sxpm and takes a deep interest in political irs, his father being about to re- mmonstrate with him forcibly for some violations of the domestic_constitusion, proposed. on the road to the wood-shed, toleave the whole matter 0 8 joint committee, dalmmnir that Lhe powers of Loth were vo-ordinate. The stern father, Thowever, asserted that the constitution confer- 2l the power upon him, and _that the boy was present as a witness merely. The howls of 1he witness could be plainly heard over on lon- roc strect. An article in gcsterdsy‘s issuc detailing some of the mauifold swindling operations of one Jackson, 2 borse sharper, may have been worded 50 a5 to do injustice to othcr horse-dealers on the South Side whodoan honest business,— that is, honest for ahorse-dealer. It might have ‘been inferred from the artidle on Jackson that lie owned, or was connected with, nearly all the stavles on Wabush or Michigan avenues south of Twenticth street. That would be too broad & statement, and would do injury to such men a5 James Linpet, of No. 42 Harmon court, who hasa very different reputation from Jackson. 1t is unfortunate for Mr. Linuct's business that he tappens to be in that pelghborhood. The Hon. William Carey, of Salt Lake City, Utab, delivered a lecture at Highland Park Ho- 1l last Friday evening on “ The Mormons.” The lecture was heard py a large audience, which was delighted, not only witih the lectur- er's style, but his matter. Mr. Carey has lived among the Mormons for four years in his ca- acity of United States Attorney-General, and thercfore had the most favorable oppor- tunities for observing the peculiar traits, and becominy acquainted with the history, of this peccliar peovle. The results of thesc years of study and observation were embodied in_the Jecture, which, it is hoped, will be repcated in Chricago at an ‘estly day. The last survivor of the Custer massacre, who for some time past has with some success been Jilling an ensagement as a part of the audience of the Brookiyn Theatre, at present jnfests the West Side saloons in the ise of a passenger escaped from the Ashtabula bor- yor. His story is enlivened by many graphic de- ails. such as how the man mest to him was froysn to death at one extremity and con- temporancoutly burned to death at” the other, and be is freguently asked to drink by sympa- thizineg auditors, to the great delizbt and “profit of the barkeeper. One of bim, however, came ignuwiniousiy to grief the other day, when he told how in the terrible catastrophe he lost his wise, nine children, and the savings of a life- time, just 2s he was comiog back to Chicazo after an absence of seventeen years. ¢ Where hind you been living! ! asked an auditor, © In Sun i‘mucism," replied the victim. It is s0 hard to do good! On New-Year's Day 2 young msu_took & solemn vow that, so help Jim, he would for the rest of the year tell the 1ruth, leu the.consequences be what they might. ‘The consequences bave been somewhat serious, and mot at_all sgrecable.

Altogetler, he has bad a very bard time of it, and begins to feel dis- couraged. i Mr. Hesing does not intend to stop his inves- tigations into county affuirs with the printing- bills of the Demokrat and Couréer, but will go 8 step further and Icok into the contract under which Cameron, Ambers & Co. have been sup- Ifiog the books, blauks, and stationery used )y the county oflicers. It was stated ycsmrdn{ that search had been wade for the origina contract with this firm, and that it could not be found. It appears, however, that it was only misplaced, and yes- terday it turned up. It seems that “the defect in this whole system of letting ihie sia- tionery and book coutract is that the proposals are made out on a basis which is five or sixyears old, and the old-fashioned way of doing busi- ness has been repeated year after vear, Mr. Hesing s having copies made of ail of Cam- eron, Amberg & Co.’s bills for the year 1870, which foot up about $30.000. It is his intention to go through them critically, compare them withi the vontract, and then _publish the result, which some claim will be damsging to the County Comunissioners, while others assert that, although it may show 'ignor- ranc on their part, there will be nothing to indi- cate criminality. Anadult class in the history and develop- ment of English literatnre, under the instruc- tion of Mr. James Colegrove, will be organized next Sunday morning in connection with toe Sunday-school of the Fourth Unitarian Church, Cottage Grove avenue and Thirty-scventn street. The entire ground, from the puems of Beowulf and Cacdmon, 670 A. ., to the pres- ent time, will be gone overin a course of cigl teen lessons, A effort will be made to trace the social, intellectual, and especially the moral and religious progress_of the English people, and it 15 belicved that in no way can this be done so well as in the study of their literature. At the sanie time and place there will also be organized another udult dass for a course-of study of eighteen lessons upon the books of the Bible, under the instruction of Mrs. Eliza Sunderland. The aim of this class will be to obtain all the information possible with refer- ence to the origin, authorship, date, histors, contents, great characters, aud religious value of the various books of the Bible, in their order. These classes will both be free to all interested 0 join them. They will begin at 10 o'clock and continue till 10:50 a. . Church services begin at 11 .0'dlock. SILVER WEDDING. Mr. and Mrs. Hervey 3. Dale, the former a well-known Government contractor, celebrated the twenty-Gfth anniversary of thelr wedding last night at their residence, No. 208 Warren avenue. 1t is customary, or at least comnon, when a couple announce that they have been wedded for twenty-five long vears for their friends, if they havé any, to show some bigns of esteem, or at least to reward them for their 0ood bebavior. It would appear that Mr. and Sirs. Dale have many {riends, and_the richness and number oi‘rrnscms poured ju upun them 1ast night would certainly lead one to suppose that, in the long period of their union, they had so ‘*‘behaved” that friendship and esteem could not be withheld. Among the gifts was an elegant silver tea service, sets of tableware, bouquet vases, etc. There were numerous beautiful articles from frlends in Cincinnati, the former home of the couple.

For eight years Mr. Erdinan has given almost his undivided time and attention to the study and teachinyg of the Bible, and for a few yenrs past has devoted himsclf to the giving “of Bible talks or readings. Thc series just bezun embraces fifteen topics and will continue for fiftecn weeks—one tople beng considered each _ Sabbath.

PALLET AND BRUSH.T= GOSSIP FROM THE ART-GALLERIES. The entertalnment for the benefit of the Acad- emy of Design is announced for the evening of Feb. 6. The programme will consist of an essay on art by Prof. Swing, aud an admirable selec- ton of vocal and ipstrumental music by some of the best of our home talent, who have kindly volunteered. The entertainment will take place in the large galleries of the Academy. Not the Ieast of the attractions will be the dis- play of pictures by home and foreign artists with which the walls are hung. The necessities of the Academy are - ur- gent. It is doing & good work in affording an elementary education to the youth of the Northwest who are imbued with artistic ambition. Its gallery is now a nucleus for art study, and with proper fostering care will in the course of time be a delightful resort for the Jovers of ihe beautiful. Its schools are in Zood running order, aud are well patronized; and it is the inteotion of the managers to increase its usefuluess by providingaccommodstions for the m“fi pupfl who are flocking in from all parts of the Northwest. All profits, after paving rent, teachers, etc., are devoted to the main- tenance of the galleries, whith hereto- fore lhsve been well sustained by the annusl - subscribers. This source - of revenue hss been materially lessened by the prevailing commerdial depression. With the re- turn of better times, it is hoped that the enb- scrivers will renew their favors; and in the ‘meantime it {s expected that the general public will bestow a liberal patronage on the proposed entertainment, and encoursge the manazers to | respect it at an early date.

He has recently finished several very meritorious portyaits. ‘The Academy of Design will on Monday com- mence a cluss in modeling in clay under the direction of L'rof. Meli, the well-known sculptor. Alsoat the same time cl: will be tormed for instruction in landscape painting in oil 2nd water colors under the supervision of Mr. H. F.

The President of one of the banks of this city recently was struck by a brilliant idea: to im- press the clerks with a due sease of his watch- fulness and their responsibility, be would have them “shadowed ” by a detective. He did so, and every day or so would call one of the young men into his prizate room and address him with severity something after this fashion: “Young man, you left the bank at 19! min- utes past 4 vesterday afternoon. You madea beeline for Dearborn street, declining on the way to purchase matches and suspenders, and telling a venerable man who poked an advertis- ing dodger into your diaplragm to go to 2 place where tuere is no ice on the sidewalks, and the probabilities always Indicate an area of high tem- perature. You also winked at 2 stray widow with false teeth. Arrived at Dearboru street, you entered the house of a publican and sinoer named Mackin, bad a bot Scoteh: whisky with not too muchsugarin it, favited the barlk takezomething himstlf, —aninvitation wh firmly but respecttully declined,—and had a red- Dot oyster ona fork.

In addition to this, you had three other nips and a cigar,—a Concna.” Light- inz this, you procecded to a restaurant, the name of which is advertised in THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE. wnere you dined heartily and inex- pensively on_tomato-soup, raw oysters, broiled cliicken, apple-pie, fricd putatoes, celery, and a number of other articles, the che including a bottle of Bass’ ale," being $2.05.

The other day, however, they got a new clerk at this bank, a quiet and innocent looking young fellow. His corarades told him about the trials e would bave to undergo, whereat he smiled o ensive smilc and 5aid that would be all right. gesteruuy afternoon the President sent for him, and, with a respeciful wink at the messenger, Le_entered the President’s room. When the ol man had got through, he replied calmiy: “Inthe mnin your Tuformation is accurate, though it was bitters—not lemon—that I desired the barkeeper not to put _too much of in my third ein-eocktail, and my biggest run at bill- fards was 16—not 17.

The investigation of the charges preferred against Mr. McClevey and the Warden of the Hospital did not come off yesterday. Messrs. Tabor, Lenzen, Ayars, and Guenther, of the Special Committee, were at the Hospital shortly after 10 o'clock, and Messrs. Holden, Cleary, and Scnne put in an appearance shortly after- wards. As Commissioner Bradley bad made the charges, the Committee did not care about procecding in his ahsence. They waited round until 2 o’cdlock; but, as Mr. Bradley did not arrive, it was declded to adjourn until Tuesday morning. Commissioner Bradley did not meet with the Committee, because he bad not been informed of the appointment of such a Committec until he saw the announcement in these columns, but he had agreed the evening belore to meet Mr. Cleary and go to the Hospital. Cleary did not keep his promise, hence Bradley did not o, He thought 1t a strange proceeding that Mr. Holden should call a mecting of the Committee with- oat consulting him—the Chairman. As Chuir- man he thouzhit ke was entitled to fix the time and place for the meeting, and not Mr. Holden; besides, he could not possibly have entered on the investization yesterday, for the reason that he had not had time to group the evidence in his posscssion. He says he will be ready to commence the work Tuesday morningat 10 o'clock, and that he will see that the investiga- tion Is thorough, and if there are any wrougs that they are cxposed and righted. He has called 2 mecting and notitied the Committee clerk to be present. MOODY’S CHILDREN. A LETTER FROM J. V. FARWELL.

At noon yesterday Mrs. Claremont, wife of the notorious * Rollanc,” made a vain attempt to furnish her hustand with a saw and file with which to escape. The articles were wrapped up in a TRIBUNE containing the account of Rol- land’s arrest, the whole being neatly concealed in-a few clean shirts. When chided for this breach of faith, the woman merely replied that any woman would do’us much for a lover, let alone 2 husband, and after being kept_under surveillnnce for & fow hours was allowed to goupon herway. Nothing more ‘was heard ot her until last evening at about 9:30 o'clock, when Detectives Sinmons and Tim Ryan, fearing foot-steps in the corridor above, Went ' up stairs and there captured Mrs. Clare- mont, diszuised ir man’s vestments, and a young, but hard-looding scamp, giving the name of Charles Smith. Thic; raisc a window fn the corridor, directly over another window that sheds light upon Rolland’s dismal_quarters. Beside them was a coil of rope with hookattached by which Rolland was to escape alter sawing out. By a swaller rope was to be lowcred a small sateliel contain- ing a jiminy, a bit of candic, a revolver, a bottle of chloroform, a fow small saws,a ball of twine, apair of moccasins, o box of matches, nod & Dpocketbook containing $12. In Ler pocket was found the following letter of directions, which was also to have been lowered down by the rope; & . Dear Ralph:. 1amout on the ontside watching indieguise. This boy is true.

NerTie. P, S.—Good God! get out to-night. Iam tak- iz desperate cnances. The Emgmnme was undoubtedly as follows: ‘With the jimmy and other appliances Rulland was to file the bars from the window, and fafl- - ing in this was to dig his way out by some other passage. With the rope and hook he wes to emerge into the cornidor, should the windows permit, and thence his escape was a_forezone conclusion. The [:Ilm was deeply and cunning- 1y laid, for, had the woman waited until a later Bour, her chances of detection would have been much more slight. 3 Deputy-Supt. Dixon was so provoked at the 'womau’s perverse attempts that he caused her- scli and **pal " to be locked up at the Armory, ere just sbout to° cape. THE SECOND ADVENT. GUITEAU THE MISSIONARY. Mr. Charles J. Guiteau, whose advertisements deseribe him to -be ‘thé Lawyer and Theo- Jogian,” delivered last night at the church in the Methodist Block what his bandbills call s Great Lecture on Christ’s Second Com- ing, A. D. 70.” His audience consisted of seven Jadies and fifteen gentlemen. The price of ad- mission put the enjoyment of the lectare within the reach of all, for it was ® free toall who can’t spare 25 cents (as he Is working for the Lord and not for money).” The cashicr at the door had a small pileof change before him, amounting to $1.85. Before the lecture com- menced, a colored rhan applied for his pay for distributing dodgers, and was sent out by Mr. Guitcau to call in ladies and gentlemen to come and hear the lecture. 2 When he was ready he saw that a table was provided for o TRIBUNE reporter, and opening with a short prayer for “the benighted public who would not come to licar about Christ’s ad- vent,” he commenced bis lecture. He said be did not think it necessary for hun to apologze for his enall audience. People might not come “to bear him, but he was not to be discouraged for all that, and he proposed to deliver his Tec- ture any way. For nincteen ceaturies Christen- dom hud waited for Christ’s advent, boping He would come. He took up the prophesies of the Bible on the subject, which ali tended to show at Christ would comc again on the earth, within the generation of His contemporaries, which would be within about thirty years,or A. D. 50. “This argument is based, Mr. Keporter, on Matt. xiil., 24, 20, 80, 31, and 1 should like you to makea note of it. And I desire to call your attention, Mr. Regorter, to the pestilence, war, and famine that tollowed His coming. Josephus speaks of Christ as ‘one Jesus, a conutry fellow, who went about.’ I desire a special note of this, Mr. Reporter. Peoplesay the Bible teaches that the Guspel must be preached before Corist shall come. I show that the Gospel was preach- cd, and Iwould lke you to tuke down that fact, Mr. Keporter, and He foretold the end would come. This' is important, Mr. Reporter, for the end (id come. By the way, I wish you would give these references, Mr., “Reporter, for these references show that the Ant-Christ has come.”” ‘The reporter commenced sharpening a pencil, and tie lecturer waited for him, while the audi- ence tittered. Mr. Ginteau read u number of rcr&:rences from Revelation. Then he contin- ued: *¢ These show that Christ has been here, but why has not Christendom knuwn of it? 'This is especinlly important, Mr. Reporter, and. I desire that you would take it down. 'For nincteen centurics, Mr. Reporter, Chnstendom has beon kept in ignorance of this advent. All the min- isters and Biblical students ought to have come here to-night, but they didu’t.” You will find the Aposties’ explanation oi this also imnpor- tant, Mr. Reporter, but L shall defer considera- tion ol it until another lecture. Ninetcen cen- turies have been afraid to face this this thing, but after I bave been abroad and shaken them up a Jittle they'Hl come and hear me. Moody coutd nnfi- raise. 30 people_until bhe wunt ebroad. Here's an item about Paul, Mr. Report- er, for Paul said Christ would come again. ~ Pe- ter dido’t know what hewas talking about. Please make a note of that, Mr. Reporter. ‘The Christianity of Paul’s Church has Leen a mock- Réporter, and I wish you would note hat is the reason the ministers are not here to-night. ooy shook *em up a tit- tle, and may be I will before I get through. Now, Mr. Reporter, I will give you the Biblical refercnces onldy, because you will not have space for the argument (reads references). They will ouiy take seven or eight lies, Mr. Reporter, caw’t you put them in? Then these ministers can look them up to-morrow. I've ogly two more items, Mr. Reporter, and I'd_like you to tuke them. Please take these references also, Mr. Reporter (reading from 1. John, fi., 15). Thus you will sce, Mr. Reporter, the Anti-Clirist lias come. Noyw, Mr. Reporter, if you will rote down L Jolin, iil., 2, aud L Johin, fiL,, 19, we will be almost throagh. “ e will now examine Revelation in rela- tion to Christ's coming. Aflter [ have read the references to the reporterI will explain them to the audience. I will give you the referonces, Mr. Reporter (reads). _The substancs of this is that Christ told them He was coming quickly. The last words of John wore that Carist was coming. Now Iam almost through, Mr. Re- yorter, can’t you take the rest? Itisshort..I told Mr. Hallif he wantel any wores he could , for I want a good report of this lecture. This i5 going to turn Christendotn upside down. Tthirk tis is destined to eombing tue Christian Churches,—take that down, Xir. Reporter. By the way; I will give you the latter part of this, Mr. Réporter, if you don't want the trouble of Swritmg it down.” Heremter we shall roam up and down history sacred and profane. T'li kave nore people here then than I have now. Coper- nicus said the world was round, and everybody Delieved him mad. There may be some who will 687 I am mad.” THE CITY-HALL.

One gentleman who only last Friday bad $4,000 worth of old certifi zutes Tectemed, invested that amount in new certifleates at 7 per cent as the best disposition he could make of his funds. The Commissioner of Health says that scarlet- fover has not taken off as many people in the week just lpur.us in the Ercccdiuz week, and that diputlieria seems to be .on the inerease. Beyond those two diseases the death rate is about as in other years at this seasen. Mr. Wright says that bis Departinent, with the small numver of men, can do but little to check the progress of scarlet-fever, whicli, unlike small-pox, scems to confine ftself to vo particu- lar quarter of the city.

The bills preseuted by Mr. Anthony and Mr. Adams meet with a great deal of fuvor, and one ol tuem will undoubtedly be passed provided its provisions are found to be constitutional. ‘The Committee on Streets and Alleys of the North Division yesterday decided to recommend to the Council that the petition for paving Cly- bourn avenue be referred to the Department of Public Works to beincluded in the estimates for appropriations; that the order for the paving of Lineola avenue be placed un file; that an order for paving Diyision street from Stone street to the Lake-Shure drive'be passed; that action on the matter of assessments for paving Townsend street from Oak stret to Elm be deferred, as the citizens living on the streets will theméelves see ta the improvement.

They also recommended the passaze of an ordinance limiting the taking of changes of venuc from one Police Justice to another Police Justice, and not to a Justice of the Peace.
